Quincy Harker is trying to keep his town free of demons. Det. Bex Flynn is a human working with Quincy and a Homeland Security guy going by the name of John Smith. There's a new vampire in town leaving a trail of undead and wanting to kill Dracula, Quincy's uncle. Enter a new vampire slayer, a young woman by the name of VanHelsing. With lots of snarky humor, this novella makes a nice break from reality.
James Foster is really great as the narrative voice of Quincy Harker. ( )

Hell on Heels: A Quincy Harker, Demon Hunter Novella

The Quincy Harker, Demon Hunter series, is still going strong in Hell on Heels, the third title in the series. Harker and Detective Flynn have had changes in their relationship, a very slow building of trust and possibly a hint of friendship. Quincy’s language and attitude both remain foul, especially before, during and after any breath he takes.

The entity Quincy is fighting in this book is Renfield. Not that Renfield, the original. This is one of his successors. When you are Count Dracula, you do not have to remember servants names. You just call them all by their predecessors name. Makes life easier. Unfortunately one of the previous Renfield was disturbed, more than bug eating disturbed and has come back to seek revenge on the Count, or as Harker calls his, Uncle Luke. Disturbed Renfield has no problem with killing present Reinfeld to get his revenge on his former employer. Harker and Flynn are working together to help Dracula. With that the story is off and running and like others has great action and pacing.

When I wrote my review of the Kindle version of Hell on Heels, I stated, “The only way this book could have been any better is if it had been an audiobook read by James Foster.” And I was right. I enjoyed reading the book but listening to it narrated by James Foster is the difference between smelling chocolate cookies and eating them. His narration of the Quincy Harker series takes a two dimensional page and makes it three dimensional. He breathes life into the characters on the pages.

I received a free copy of the audiobook in exchange for a fair review.

Kindle Review
The third installment in the Quincy Harker, Demon Hunter series, Hell on Hells, is just as strong as the previous two. Harker and Detective Flynn have had changes in their relationship. Although they are starting to work together, Quincy in no way softens up. His language and attitude both remain foul. The adversary in this book is Renfield. Not that Renfield. This is one of his successors. When you are Count Dracula, you do not have to remember servants names. You just call them all by their predecessors name. Makes life easier. Unfortunately one of the previous Renfield was disturbed, more than bug eating disturbed and has come back to seek revenge on the Count, or as Harker calls his, Uncle Luke. This story like the others has great action and pacing. It also advances the characters and helps the reader understand how they arrived where they are. The only way this book could have been any better is if it had been an audio book read by James Foster.

I bought the Kindle edition. ( )

My original Hell on Heels audiobook review and many others can be found at Audiobook Reviewer.

Hell on Heels is the third installment of the crass and humorous Quincy Harker, half vampire demon hunter. If you have listened to the previous audiobooks in this series of novella, do yourself a favor and get this one too. You will not be disappointed. If you haven’t, not sure why you wouldn’t, but if you haven’t listened to any of these stories. You will be happy to know that they all could stand alone as individual novels and you would not miss much.

Hartness has found the precarious balance between paranormal story lines, with fantastical scenarios. With humor bordering on pubescent slapstick without going grade school. Creating characters that carry much more depth than you would expect in shorter stories.

In this installment, there is a new, err, old vampire in Quincy’s town. Uncle Luke will not stand for this. Especially because this vampire in town is a Renfield and a former servant who has found a way to become immortal. If that wasn’t enough, there’s a new vampire hunter in town too. The fight scenes are very well choreographed.

In Hell on Heels, Hartness gives us so much more background information on Quincy. All of the information I have been craving. While I know I have said this before. But, I want a full blown Quincy Harker full length novel, so bad.

This is the best book in the series so far! It has it all, action, humor, vampire battles, vampire vs half-vampire, half-vampire vs human, and intrigue. This one really captured my imagination.

James Foster once again brings harmony to a plethora of different characters. Ranging from young females to centuries old vampires. He does it all with a style that I have come to expect from Foster. Quickening the pace for the action bits, slowing down for the meaningful bits. This is one of my favorite things that any narrator can do with a story.
